  <p><b>Problem Statement:</b></p>

  <p>Most modern storage media do not provide security when the portable device is lost or stolen. Systems that do provide protection against lost devices are often difficult to use or only provide a false sense of protection by storing data unencrypted on the flash media. Our USB flash drive will allow for an average user to safely store their information on the device, but the information will be inaccessible if the device is lost or if a thief takes it. </p>

  <p><b>Goal:</b></p>

  <p>Our goal is to make an encrypted USB flash drive that will not allow access to data on the drive unless a key is given.</p>
   
  <p><b>Subgoals:</b></p>

  <ol>
    <li>Explore encryption techniques that are feasible for use on solid-state storage media.<p>
    </p></li><li>Develop software on the USB controller to encrypt and decrypt information on the storage media.<p>
    </p></li><li>Create drivers to allow users to use the encrypted USB.<p>
  </p></li></ol>
